Dan Peters Custom Knives

Dan Peters began making custom knives as a hobby but it quickly turned into a business. Dan is in the Army and primarily manufactures fixed blades with premium steels that are vastly superior to the commercial knives in the same category. He started with tried and true hunting and tactical knife designs and has since started introducing many of his own designs that will serve similar purposes. Dan is currently working out of El Paso, TX, though is job in the Army keeps him moving around all the time.

Dan Peters Custom Knives was started a couple of years ago after my favorite hobby grew into a business. I take pride in using the best materials that will produce a product that will last generations. Most of my knives are made with tactical and hard use in mind, but I also make a more “display” grade, which are still made to be used, but are also beautiful enough that you will not want to.

I started seriously making knives a few years ago under a very talented and experienced knife maker and then slowly began to acquire my own equipment and techniques. I have a few designs that are popular, but will also work with customers to make one-of-a-kind knives. All the steels used are meant to perform and all handle materials are built to last.

All of my knives are made to your order and because of that, they take some time to make. The amount of time to make a knife depends on a number of variables. Since all knives are custom made by me, the amount of current orders can impact timing. I am also an active member of the Armed Forces and there are times I am away from home. In general, the wait times range from 1 to 6 months, but I guarantee that my knives are worth waiting for!
